Something

Lately I realized that I care too much about people who don't even want to know if I'm fine. I've lived a lie for 9 years, I spent every second of my life with people I called my friends while they never were really there for me. I realized that even though it's gonna be the hardest thing to do in my life, I have to tell them it's over. Because I don't want to waste my life pretending, I only want the truth.

I guess it was a February night when something changed in my mind When I just sat down on my couch and thought about life When I recalled everything that I enjoyed in the past When I remembered all the lows that I've had to get through And when the tears of joy and sadness just started coming down my cheeks And when the hope that I have been given disappeared for a little while But then I thought that

Hey this is something you can't expect This is something that may break you into pieces Just so you can get up once again Hey this is something you can't see coming This is something that you may let slow you down Or it comes so you can say you'll be alright So when it comes to you, I'll say We can get through it together and that's the choice I made

I'd say that love is hard cause you never know if they love you back They can fake it pretty easily just to break your heart Sometimes it turns out that the ones you trust the most That they also are the ones who can make you fall really hard That's when the tears of sadness just started coming down my rose cheeks Cause I just simply realized what I had to do to make it better But then I thought that

Hey this is something you can't expect This is something that may break you into pieces Just so you can get up once again Hey this is something you can't see coming This is something that you may let slow you down Or it comes so you can say you'll be alright So when it comes to you, I'll say We can get through it together and that's the choice I made

Because we are crying on the floor now We are thinking back and we're stuck Cause we never thought that something that felt so right Was the worst thing ever And we are breaking out and through the Tears we can say that the change is coming And we know it's gonna be hard but I believe the strength Is right there in your heart

Cause I guess someone expected it Someone made it come to you, come to you And maybe someone made you break down So you could appreciate the bright days ahead of you

Hey this is something you can't expect This is something that may break you into pieces Just so you can get up once again Hey this is something you can't see coming This is something that you may let slow you down Or it comes so you can say you'll be alright So when it comes to you, I'll say We can get through it together and that's the choice I made
